Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe couchsurfing makes travel unique.
Not like plastic hollow hospitality in Hotels , or host-less room sharing, I believe I can have various human touch by surfing on this community.
Interests
During majoring Social Sciences and Arabic, I studied widely about Middle Eastern Politics and living in abroad for almost 2 years as exchange student. I found out I am interested in Psychological studies more than macro Politics, so that I am now studying for graduate school exam for applying.
I just finished my mandatory duty in Korean Air Force as a HR officer(first lieutenant) and now I am working in tourism agency for my daily bread(or rice) :-)

Music, Movies, and Books
When I first went to abroad as an exchange student I felt somehow lonely.
I found electronic music for my remedy, and it makes me more cheerful and passionate.
Somehow I forgot what I was concerned, too :-)
From then I annually attnd Ultra Music Festival(UMF) in Seoul, not frequently but sometimes I go to electronic music based clubs for cure (when needed) !
My no.1 movie is INCEPTION / I am not into heroic movies but I am secretly into DEADPOOL
Recently I read "The Subtle Art to not give a f**k" , very useful
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I heard bombardment siren in Israel in 2012 then I fled into underground bunker
Teach, Learn, Share
I am very into learning languages so for now I can speak 3 languages fluently (Korean, English, Japanese)
I minored in Arabic, learned Hebrew while I am studying in Israel
